Well... went to the drags this arvo... had a lot of fun :)

Ran a 13.9 @ 101mph (2.2 60') on 9psi with a misfire issue between 4-5rpm. Not to mention an exhaust manifold gasket leak...

... which got worse on my last run so I had to bail.

This is without the AFC or anything....or the rest of the exhaust done yet.

Next time I go down I'll have an AFC installed and Tuned, A dump Pipe, and a de-cat-de-centre muffler pipe also.

I dont see a 13.5ish being out of the question. There is plenty more go left in it I think....

Some good results for bully, and GOT BOOST and Lagwagon also :(

Oh yeah, and the track was slippery as hell.... had wheelspin most of 2nd ugh! wonder how much better the time would be with more grip?

But now, I need an exhaust manifold gasket to suit the RB25. Anyone know the type/model number and where I can get one from ?

good mph. I ran my 33 last night at willowbank. Ran a 13.56@100mph. only got boost controller, 3 inch not got a dump pipe, and k&n pod. im happy with the time and no doubt that u will get into the low 13's dude just gotta hook up right off the line. I went down to stock wheels for the meet and when i ran my best time it hooked up well just abit of spin into second. Its all in the launch matey ive learned that. Good luck anyhow

Yeah, i was dam suprised at such a good time, but could only run 9psi cos the misfire would get really bad!

and Yep. Lowered tyres to about 22-23psi....

... then dumped the clutch at 3grand off the line.... f*ck slipping it, i got worse times that way!

my clutch screwed up on my last run. I ran a 13.98@83mph lol

weird had to roll down to the very end and was stuck there for awhile. turned the car off put it in gear started it up in gear coz i couldnt select a gear with the car on(no peddle) and then drove up the return road got into 3rd using no clutch pushed in the clutch while still accelarating and it went clunk and came good??? How bizzare but now i just went to the drift day today and on the way up it was slipping badly on the highway. 3rd n up just slips :)

Kym, Well done, I knew that car was much quicker after seeing it on the last cruise, but there will be plenty of improvement with some of those bugs fixed.

Got Boost, Excellent time mate, goes to show that the RB26 conversion was well worth it, and I'm sure there is plenty more left in it when you decide to push it harder:D

Interesting day to say the least, Track was like ice, the return road had more grip in it. Got a best time of 13.05 with 2.3 60ft at 113 mph so the mph is 3 mph better then my best et, with 60 foot being .4 off my best, so there is a mid 12 in there somewhere.

On my Second pass throw it into 3rd, add power, and tail end decides to go wall ward at 130-140 kph. Interesting stuff indeed

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
